Rudy Giuliani declared a pivotal scene from “The Godfather” eerily foreshadowed the Obama administration’s actions and the Russiagate scandal targeting President Trump. The former New York City mayor, speaking on Newsmax, argued Democrats orchestrated a political hit job using false Russia collusion claims. He compared Trump’s presidency to Michael Corleone’s battle against corrupt power structures.
Giuliani specifically referenced Don Corleone’s assassination attempt, suggesting it mirrored how Obama-era officials tried to destroy Trump. He described Russiagate as a coordinated deep state operation designed to overturn the 2016 election results. This fits the conservative view that Democrats weaponized institutions against their opponents.
The “Godfather Doctrine” book previously analyzed such parallels, framing U.S. foreign policy through mafia allegories. Giuliani expanded this to domestic politics, accusing liberals of adopting Tom Hagen’s consiglieri tactics—backstabbing while maintaining plausible deniability. Obama’s love for the film adds irony to Giuliani’s warning about Democratic machine politics.
Once hailed as “America’s Mayor” for his 9/11 leadership, Giuliani now symbolizes conservative resistance against what he calls rigged systems. His falling out with former allies illustrates the price of confronting entrenched powers. This narrative resonates with patriots who see Washington as a swamp needing draining.
Donald Trump’s own cameo in “Home Alone 2” becomes symbolic—a businessman entering hostile territory, just like his presidency. Giuliani portrayed Trump as a modern Michael Corleone, forced into brutal combat after political “assassination attempts.” The conservative base views Trump’s battles as necessary defenses against un-American tactics.
Russiagate emerged from the same corrupt playbook depicted in Coppola’s classic, Giuliani asserted. He detailed how Clinton campaign-funded lies sparked investigations worthy of a Corleone family setup. The scandal’s collapse proves, in his view, that conservatives fight real corruption while liberals create Hollywood-style fiction.
Media complicity amplified the Russiagate hoax, much like crooked cops enabled the mafia. Giuliani praised Newsmax for exposing truths that liberal networks suppressed. He urged Americans to reject establishment narratives and seek unvarnished facts from independent conservative platforms.
Patriots must remain vigilant against deep state godfathers who sabotage leaders challenging their power, Giuliani concluded. His message champions everyday Americans over elitist operatives—a battle cry for real democracy against shadowy operators.
